Nida Baber Awaits Surgery to Overcome Abdominal Pain

Nida Baber's Story

Nida Baber, a 26-year-old woman from Lahore, has been suffering from upper abdominal pain for six months. She has a lump in her central abdominal region and received symptomatic treatment for it but got temporary relief only. Over time, her lump increased in size and became more painful. After struggling for a while, she decided to consult a doctor who performed some lab tests and an ultrasound scan and diagnosed Nida with Ventral Abdominal Hernia. This condition occurs when abdominal tissue or an organ protrudes through a weak spot in the front abdominal muscles, creating a bulge. To relieve her pain and discomfort, the doctor advised mesh hernioplasty and abdominal lipectomy. However, Nida’s family can’t pay for her surgery.

Nida is a housewife and her persistent pain often prevents her from performing household chores and caring for her children. Simple activities like prolonged sitting and bending have become increasingly difficult for Nida.

If Nida does not receive this surgery soon, her condition may lead to serious complications such as a strangulated hernia, where the blood supply to the intestine is cut off. This may cause severe pain, infection, and potentially life-threatening damage to her intestines, requiring emergency surgery.

Nida lives in a modest rented house with her joint family of nine members. Her husband and brother-in-law are daily wage laborers and make just PKR 38000 monthly. This meager monthly income is inadequate to cover their house rent of PKR 10,000 in addition to the mounting utility bills and the living expenses of nine family members. They have nowhere else to turn to and arrange the surgery for Nida. During this time of need, Nida turned to Transparent Hands. She contacted us and asked us to register her case.

Nida expressed her heartfelt plea as follows:

“I wish to live a healthy life where I no longer have to go through this discomfort every day. My children suffer because of me. I used to be strong but now I can barely stand for more than a few minutes without feeling sharp pain. I ask for your support. Please help me in undergoing this surgery.”

Transparent Hands has registered Nida’case and we are committed to helping her. However, we can’t do it alone and we request your support. Through your contributions, Nida’s life will change forever.
